Amplify Our Priorities:
Congress must hear from hoteliers so that
our top priorities
are included in the next package. Since the start of this crisis, our grassroots efforts have proved immensely effective in supporting our industry’s efforts at the state, local, and federal level. We cannot do this without your support!
AHLA will launch A National Day of Action -- Save Hotel Jobs -- next Wednesday, July 29th.
This effort is designed to provide a platform to you – our valued members - to support legislative action. On July 29th we want 100,000 of your letters to flood the offices of Members of Congress. Please add the date to your calendar and look for more information from us in the coming days on ways to engage – we’ll make it easy for you with draft letters and call scripts.
In the meantime, let’s start now. AHLA has put forth a
set of priorities
that will help mitigate the widespread economic loss and reduction in workforce opportunities so that our industry can begin to recover and rebuild.
Our priorities MUST be included in the COVID 4 relief legislation.
Help us make the case for Congress: As part of the Front Desk Feedback survey series, we have
7 questions
for you. All responses will be anonymized, and no individual member information will be shared. The deadline is COB Monday, July 27.

COVID-19 Precautions for Hotels, created in consultation with the AHLA's Safe Stay Advisory Council, presents united industry guidelines endorsed by all major U.S. hotel brands to help hotel operators achieve their top priority – protecting guests and employees against the coronavirus.
